LET US NOT REMOVE OUR EYES AWAY FROM THE SYRIAN CRISISOver 4 years of unrest have created the worst humanitarian crisis in the modern history of the Middle East region. Over 12 million Syrians are in need for humanitarian aid, around 6 million people have been internally displaced, and more than 3 million refugees have fled to neighboring countries.There are over 12.2 million Syrians in desperate need of humanitarian aid, inside Syria, with over 5.1 million of these being children. Over 3.3 million Syrians have fled, seeking shelter in neighboring countries, Lebanon, Turkey, Iraq and Jordan. On average, one family flees Syria for safety, every minute.Most have fled their homes because their homes have been destroyed. A country is not just a place of national pride it is a home, a place of belonging which defines who you are and when 1 in 4 Syrians have had their property/home destroyed it leaves 5.7 million homeless people who have nothing more than rubble to return to.To relieve hosting countries from Syrian refugees can only be achieved by rebuilding homes in Syria, without a home for a Syrian refugee to return to, then there is no reason to return.Housing is urgently required, rebuilding homes also builds faith and hope for the Syrian People and hope in their future, it gives Syrian refugees the hope and planning of returning back to their country and homes to start their lives again.

Establishing new housing projects in Syria will allow realistic and sustainable planning for hosting countries and the UN to help resettle Syrian refuges, who are longing to return home which in turn helps relieve the financial burden of hosting countries and to the UN

Displacement with a refugee perceived view, of very little hope of returning back home. breeds desperation, removes all hope, which terrorism feeds upon and takes advantage of.

Give Syrian refugees a home, school for their children to attend, health services, socioeconomic infrastructure so that they can become self reliant on food supply and you have given hope and created stability, the type of stability that people pray and long for and will maintain.

The Syrian refugees cry out for normality and to return home. Governments and UN must concentrate on applying immediate rebuilding of housing in Syria for refugees, this is the key to stability in Syria, this is what people are crying out for, to return home and live as they once did and it is achievable right now, through rebuilding of housing for Syrian refugees.
